ALLIANCE – Part 6: Clara Lofaro

Clara Lofaro is an astounding performing artist. Her warmth and friendship is prevalent in all that she does. She effortlessly captivates and inspires everyone who graces her presence.

On April 6th and 7th, Enforced Arch is presenting their latest work, ‘ALLIANCE’ Art & Activism, which features past and current pieces by creative directors James Koroni and Tracey Katof. Clara Lofaro is a member of this project and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her join us on this adventure! After rehearsal this past week we had an opportunity to ask her a few questions…

How do you as an individual live the ‘ALLIANCE’ of Art & Activism?

My quest has always been to liberate people and bring one closer to oneself through music. I do this by exposing myself in my songs and voice as honestly as possible; full of flaw and emotion. I also contribute to various organizations that are making a difference by helping people live more whole lives in one capacity or another.

What part of the rehearsal process or subject material did you find most inspiring?

Watching these talented artists come together to create the story behind my song, “Wrinkled $.” It was breathtaking. I feel so honored to be involved in this performance and cause.

What did you learn from your experiences that you would like to share with others?

I learned that we all hold the ability to make a difference in our body and community. We are powerful instruments, especially when we join forces.
